v1c17: Cannon Fodder Who Seeks Death [17]

Although the imperial palace was large, Su Tang had nowhere to go. She wandered aimlessly for a while and finally found a pavilion to rest in.

She was weak, and there were always a bunch of people surrounding her. At this moment, she felt inexplicably irritated and ordered everyone to leave her presence.

As a result, as soon as she spoke, everyone knelt down. Some timid palace maids even burst into tears.

"Your Highness, is there anything we haven't done well? Please tell us, and we'll correct it immediately. Please don't chase us away." These words were actually somewhat out of line, but Prince An rarely killed anyone, so the palace maid dared to plead.

Su Tang leaned back lazily in the pavilion. Knowing that this was Qin Li's order, she didn't make things difficult for them. She just ordered someone to prepare some charcoal fire, pastries, and a cloak. She gave these orders one by one. By the time she finished, there were only a few people left serving her.

She was the one who helped Qin Li ascend to the throne, so how could there be no one on her side in the palace?

"Master, what are your orders?"

One of the two remaining people was the little palace maid who had dared to plead earlier. She had been crying so hard just now that her eyes were still red. Su Tang looked at her with satisfaction. She was indeed someone she had personally trained.

"Disguise yourself as me. I'm going out of the palace."

"Yes."

It wasn't difficult for Su Tang to leave the palace, but she insisted on making a small scene. The system was confused by this seemingly insignificant move.

System: "Are you deliberately trying to let Qin Li find out? Why?"

Su Tang: "To let him know that I'm not interested in him and even want to escape. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Love grows in the darkest depths'?"

Escape was impossible, as she still had a mission to complete. However, she could create some illusions. Moreover, she always felt that he had misunderstood something. For example, every time after she finished taking her medicine, he would look at her strangely and say some strange things, like "Only if you're alive and well can the An Prince's Mansion be safe and sound." He looked as if he was afraid that she would do something to harm herself.

After the system reacted, it just wanted to light a candle for Qin Li.

After leaving the palace, Su Tang went directly to Prime Minister Qi's residence. Although the courtyard where the female lead lived wasn't very luxurious, it wasn't too shabby either.

The female lead's eyes only flashed with surprise at her sudden appearance, and then she quickly calmed down. "Prince An."

Su Tang didn't have much time, afraid of being caught and brought back, so she got straight to the point. "Miss Qi, are you willing to take a gamble?"

The female lead replied, "Please tell me."

Su Tang said, "I'll give you a chance to get close to the emperor. As for the rest, it's up to you."

The female lead didn't agree immediately but asked, "Besides me, has Prince An arranged for anyone else?"

Su Tang smiled. "Only you for now. But you know, our Great Qin Dynasty holds a grand selection every three years and a small selection every two years. Whether or not you can catch the emperor's eye depends on yourself."

The fact that Su Tang came here personally showed that she thought highly of her. The female lead understood this. This was her chance, perhaps her only chance. Naturally, she wouldn't give up.

"I understand."

After discussing the matter, Su Tang naturally had to leave. However, she always felt that the world was against her. Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but something unexpected happened at the last moment. She looked at the arrogant and domineering cannon fodder who barged in and remained expressionless.

The cannon fodder was also stunned, but then she immediately put on a sharp and gloating expression. "Qi Yun, you're actually cheating behind my back! I'm going to tell Father!"

No one took the cannon fodder's words to heart, because at this moment, Prime Minister Qi had arrived personally. He didn't tell his family about being placed under house arrest, because except for him, everyone else in the Qi family was still free. As for the two guards beside him, outsiders only thought that he had gained the emperor's favor and sent them to protect him.

After returning home, Prime Minister Qi didn't summon all his daughters. There was no other way. He had too many daughters. It wouldn't be good if the matter became a big deal. He could only investigate secretly, and then he found out about the female lead and the cannon fodder.

But he didn't expect to run into Prince An in his own backyard.

The two guards behind him were even more straightforward. They were shocked at first, and then they belatedly remembered to salute.

"Greetings, Prince An."

Su Tang said, "Rise."

Prince An was their master. The guards didn't dare to ask why she was here. However, they knew that this was the inner residence, and her appearance was so sudden that the emperor must not know. Therefore, without even greeting her, one of them used lightness skill and jumped over the wall to leave.

His speed was as if he was being chased by a ghost.

Su Tang: "..."

Now, it was Prime Minister Qi's turn to be nervous. "Prince An, why are you here?" As he spoke, he almost knelt down to her. "Does the emperor know you're out?"

Su Tang said with a straight face, "No."

Prime Minister Qi plopped down on the ground, his face ashen. "It's over, it's over. The Qi family is going to be ruined by me."

Su Tang looked at the female lead. The female lead looked up at the sky. The cannon fodder, on the other hand, put on a filial act, but her pretentious voice was so unbearable that in the end, Su Tang couldn't stand it anymore and ordered the guard, "Throw her out."

The guard was used to the emperor ordering him to drag people out and execute them, so he asked subconsciously, "Your Highness, just throw her out? No need to execute?"

The young lady from the inner residence had never heard such terrifying words before. Her face turned pale with fright, and she was no longer arrogant. She subconsciously looked to Prime Minister Qi for help, but Prime Minister Qi himself was in a difficult situation and didn't even glance at her from beginning to end.

Su Tang said, "... No need to execute."

The emperor's guards weren't someone anyone could order around, but they listened to Su Tang.

With the annoying voice gone, Su Tang asked the female lead, "Are you afraid?"

The female lead shook her head. "There's nothing to be afraid of."

She had nothing left anyway. The worst that could happen was death.

Su Tang looked at her with admiration, and then she heard the female lead ask, "Would Prince An like some tea?"

The guard was fast, but no matter how fast he was, it would still take some time to go back and forth.

Su Tang wasn't polite and even ordered some barbecue.

The female lead was speechless for a moment before finally asking, "Does Prince An like barbecue very much?"

Both times she had seen Su Tang, Su Tang had ordered barbecue. How deep was this love for barbecue? Fortunately, the female lead didn't know, but Prime Minister Qi knew very well about Prince An's health and immediately screamed, "You can't eat that!"

Prime Minister Qi had been a high-ranking official for many years and had always been dignified. When had he ever lost his composure like this? But he didn't care about losing his composure anymore. If Su Tang really ate barbecue in his house, then the Qi family would really be finished.

"Prince An, please have mercy on this official! The emperor forbade you from eating spicy and greasy food for your own good." At this point, he said with a bitter face, "Do you still remember that barbecue restaurant we went to with Yun'er last time? It's a health food restaurant now."

Su Tang: "..."

The female lead was surprised. Thinking back to last time, although she had been kneeling the entire time, she had heard their conversation clearly. The emperor seemed to be very concerned about Prince An's health, a concern that went beyond the ordinary.

"Is your health not good?"

Su Tang said nonchalantly, "Ah, the imperial physician said I won't live for more than three years."
